currently we are seeking sponsorship from Coke, Domino's Pizza, and Wizards of the Coast for our proposed trivia night at Necronomicon this year.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? Anyone know anyone in a a business who might chip in with soem food, drink, prizes, or just some cash?

Sponsorship = Censorship

I would add something here, but Coke won't let me.

Seriously, is that a joke? What interest would a sponsor have in censoring the contents of games at a convention? How many games would have something negative to say about Coke, Dominos, or WotC anyway?

Sponsorship = Promotion of product and generation of good PR.

It was a joke in this case but is generally the truth. I donÄ«t believe sponsors would censor games but it is not impossible. Sponsorship can be revoked for any reason, slanderous to the company or not. Some companies might not want their image associated with some of the content of games eg. Infinte Monkeys Productions games. These games could spoil their family orientated marketing campaign and if a con comes to rely heavily on the sponsorship might side with the sponsor and thus cancelling or censoring games. But as I said I doubt it would happen.
